Your wife's called Ducki? That's good enough reason to celebrate I would've thought.

Yes the DS is fantastic, in fact I do most of my gaming on it now. Just got Meteos for a snip on Ebay, and Ouendan arrived today from Play-Asia (full price unfortunately but hopefully worth it). My wife hates it. Still, when I get one each for our kids she'll be outnumbered mwahahahah!

I don't use my DS enough, sadly.

Thankfully, i've found quite a few games on play-asia that I fancy getting my dirty mits on

Zookpeeper is on my Amazon wish list

I suspect Ducki will rather enjoy that if I do get it, I might never see my shiny new toy again

But then if she has her own DS on which to play...

As for my wife being called Ducki, yup. Her profile, we were at the Oxford Mini-Jolly. I rather like Ducks, maybe that's what attracted me to her in the first instance? *Ponder*

I can heartily recommend Bomberman DS, although it's sadly lacking in Wi-Fi play.

I wasn't over-impressed by Cars, but I suspect I was missing something judging by the reviews I've been reading today. Will investigate more thoroughly when I get home tonight and over the weekend.

The Atari Retro games collection has some good games in there (Tempest, Centipede) but a few of them have very weird controls assigned to them: To rotate round the tunnel in Tempest you have to use the stylus which is shockingly bad. However Centipede alone kept me quiet for quite some time last night.

I'm looking forward to getting Animal Crossing, the concept sounds fun.

That is NOT a good version of Tempest.

If you think that's "good", go and fire up MAME and learn to play the original

. *That's* "good". That.... thing... on that cart is ABOMINATION.

UNHOLY.

Ok, ok... Chill! T'was a poor choice of wording on my part, I never meant it was a good version of Tempest. In my opinion it suffers most because of the screen size and bizarre input with the stylus. Centipede did, however, keep me entertained.

Whoops, bit of duplication there, I blame the caffeine.

Glad you like your present sweetie.

Just hope I don't become a DS widow now
